Home Button

Pressing the Home Button returns to the Web UI Home Page.

Help Button

Press the Help Button opens the Chassis Help System. When the Help Button is 

pressed, the Help System opens to content for the Web UI Page that is currently 

displayed.

Instrument Slot Buttons (2)

The Instrument Slot Buttons represent a real-time view of the modules installed in the 

Chassis. When the Chassis is powered on, the Shelf Manager performs a standardized 

discovery routine which locates the modules that are installed in the Chassis. The Shelf 

Manager identifies each module and updates the label on the Instrument Slot Button to 

identify the module. 

Selecting an Instrument Slot Button opens the 

“Instrument Slots Page” on page 4-9

 and 

displays information for the selected module.

Chassis Information Table (3)

The Chassis Information Table displays hardware configuration information. This 

information is read only.
